Hi Thomas,

thanks for considering.
This has the inner patch also generated by git.

Cheers,

+Subject: [PATCH] package/musl: Make scheduler functions Linux-compatible
+
+The POSIX functions sched_getscheduler(), sched_setscheduler(),
+sched_getparam(), sched_setparam() are technically not correctly
+implemented by the Linux syscalls of the same name, because what the
+kernel calls a PID and what POSIX calls a PID isn't truly the same,
+resulting in somewhat different semantics as to what these functions
+exactly apply to.
+
+Since the musl developers put a high premium on POSIX compliance, they
+deliberately implement these functions to return -ENOSYS instead of
+relaying them to the respective Linux syscalls as glibc/uClibc do.
+
+This means that virtually all programs written for Linux using these
+functions are currently broken. For example running 'chrt -p 1' fails
+with "Function not implemented" on a musl-libc based system.
+
+While the musl developers are right strictly speaking, it seems
+unfeasible to fix all affected programs in a way that hardly any Linux
+developer will consider to be broken in the first place. So this patch
+simply changes musl to fall in line with the other libcs.
